New Year, New Moon and Other Things

Make a Cosmic Statement today!!!

Well, a year has passed and searching the web, reading other blogs, pagan, witchy and otherwise, mostly witchy, here's a list of the ones that are worth following.  Not in any order!!

Tommyelf22 over at wordpress.  He recently changed the title of his blog.  I've been following Tommy for a number of years.  Only good things to say about his blog.

John Beckett another great pagan writer!!! Just started following his blog this year, and so much of his writing hits home.

Wiccan Moonsong, she's over on facebook too.  This blog has the best daily updates, inspiration and keeps you focused on living your life as a witch, pagan or whatever.

Ancient Magickal Recipes online, This blog I totally love.  Full of recipes of the magickal kind.  All kinds of recipes.

The Secret Life of the American Witch, This is a weekly blog.  It's like a witchy newspaper on line.  Several different writers contribute to this blog.  Check it out for yourself.

As mentioned before there are a lot of pagan/witchy blogs out there to fill you pagan/witchy needs but the ones I listed above are the ones I follow daily and weekly. 

CELEBRATE LIFE!!!

Just Stuff

Just spreading some peace and love over this 3 day weekend.

Celestial Happening

Do you think the Full Moon on August 20 - 21, 2013 is a Blue Moon?  

Post in the comments section!!

I say it is, because the last Full Moon was on July 22, 2013 when the Moon entered Aquarius; the Moon enters Aquarius on Tuesday, August 20!! About 28 days or so!!

Sunday Morning Blues

This is something I do every Sunday.

This is the original version of Hound Dog, before Elvis.  They had to clean up the lyrics before it could be released by Elvis.   

And speaking of Buddy Guy

Magical Correspondences

I recently purchased this book and glad I did!!  It covers all things needed to do a ritual, spell or anything else.  Even what is needed for a specific spell.

I've always had to check several books to find what I needed to do rituals or spells.  Here the information is located in one book.

A wise investment for this frugal witch.

The Turning of The Wheel of The Year

Normally, August is one of the hottest months on record for where I live.  The gardens are producing, canning, also called putting up, freezing, and drying veggies and herbs is in full swing.  The Winter garden is being planted according to the Almanac. So far this week the temps have been more Fall like, 80s during the day and high 50s at night.  This is football weather!!  

I just happened to check my fav online weather site and noticed that as of yesterday, the Sun has started setting before 7p.  Each year when this happens, I start to feel the Wheel of the Year turning and the closer we get to Mabon and Samhain the faster the wheel seems to turn.  Winter brings on staying inside more, I'm an outdoor person.  Moving the furniture around again to accommodate indoor rituals if needed.  Journeying to Bridget's Well to collect pristine water and greens for Yule decorations, putting in more time at the website where I do Tarot Readings, and just mainly getting thru the Winter.  And the old timers here are predicting not a good Winter.  

Granted, September is just a few weeks away and this weather should happen  then, but the forecasters say this cooler weather is just a blip on the weather radar screen and hot weather will return.
